Dental Tourism

Dental tourism is a subset of the sector known as medical tourism. It involves individuals
seeking dental care outside of their locReasons for travel.

While dental tourists may travel for a variety of reasons, their choices are usually
driven by price considerationsWide variations in the economics of countries with
shared borders have been the historical mainstay of the sector. Examples include
travel from Austria to Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia,the US to Mexico, from the
Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland,Hungary,Turkey and Poland. While medical
tourism is often generalized to travel from high-income countries to low-cost developing
economies, other factors can influence a decision to travel, including differences
between the funding of public healthcare or general access to healthcare.

The price difference here is not explainable by reference to the material cost.

Other considerations that a patient may take into account include the lack of availability
of a dentists, long appointment time delays and the need to take extra time off
